Specialized nursing service
Nursing foot care may include nail and skin care, health-risk screening, practical education and referral when a concern needs another clinician. Before booking, your family should know the nurse’s qualifications, what the visit includes and when a physician, podiatrist or another professional may be more appropriate.
